JETGO Airlines to launch Brisbane-Karratha-Singapore services
It’s a tough gig no matter what. I too hope they sort it out and fly on. They have been going sometime now. Agree in regards to the spreading it thin. Chasing the work? I still wonder how anyone competes with Alliance when it comes to charter, they have economy of scale for sure.
Airlines/ RPT always going to be a tough call unless it’s a perfect route. Remember the travelling public want LCC fares no matter what.... Obviously thy can’t have always.
Airnorth was mentioned somewhere here, captive market no competition and planes with no pilots? Not to mention talking about thin routes, you can’t tell me that Wellcamp RPT isn’t heavily subsidised.
As has been said the 135/145 a great cheap machine both capital cost and to operate. I do wonder when larger aircraft come when you can have a baby bus (318/319) operate for less with more seats.
Hopefully JG really do fly on!

They have a critical shortage of business acumen .... and history of belligerent behavior towards the award and employment rights within Australia.
So I am not at all surprised they think they can get away with not paying passenger taxes etc. etc. to a local council.
Here's 2 weeks notice,

Only last week it came out in the ongoing defamation case Wagners v Jones that one of Jones' claims was that the Wagners had bribed Qantas, specifically Alan Joyce, to provide services to their new airport. Wagners denied that any subsidy or incentive was provided to Qantas. Put whatever spin you like on that but commercial incentives exist throughout business and commerce and would rarely fall within the scope of bribery.
In the case of any regional airport trying to attract an airline to service a particular route there would rarely be more than one operator even interested in the route. Who else apart from JetGo is interested in the proposed Karatha service or was interested in their Illawarra services? Who else apart from Air North was interested in Wellcamp/Melbourne? I don't think Qantas faced much, if any, competition to get Wellcamp/Sydney and Rex, the only other current operator there is flying government subsidised routes. If there are to be incentives, so be it because sadly that is part of the price of having regional air services.

Brisbane-based JetGo hits financial turbulence

JET NO GO? WE hope the old joke that to make a million bucks from an airline you start with $10 million doesn’t apply to Brisbane regional carrier JETGO. Chief executive Jason Ryder sent an email to staff last week warning them the carrier was facing increasingly tough financial times. JETGO runs scheduled flights to Townsville, Rockhampton, Dubbo, Wagga Wagga and other regional centres.But it has been experiencing a crash crunch due to unexpected maintenance costs and a key Japanese private equity firm not proceeding with a planned investment. JETGO appointed corporate advisers The Investment Collective to run the ruler over the business with a view to presenting a proposal to a group of new investors.JETGO managing director airlines Paul Bredereck tells your diarist that times are challenging but there is a plan to move forward. He says the company has cut its Brisbane-Tamworth route, saving about $70,000 a month, while there are now reduced services on other routes including to the Gold Coast. JETGO, which operates a fleet of five Embraer regional airliners, employs about 105 people and last year flew about 100,000 passengers.Bredereck says the carrier’s point-to-point service is popular with parents wanting to send their unattended children to visit their grandparents in regional centres because there is no need to change planes in Sydney and other major centres. JETGO also has been popular with regional folk wanting to attend medical appointments in Brisbane.The carrier was founded in 2011 by Ryder and Aaron Mulder, both experienced pilots. City Beat spies tell us the carrier provides a pretty nice service at a reasonable cost so let’s hope the needed cash is forthcoming. Running an airline can be a brutal business.

What unexpected costs other than invoices?
and a key Japanese private equity firm not proceeding with a planned investment -
investment is a key word!

An interesting measurement of gaining investment.

Seems if all services are cut the most savings will be made.
JETGO, which operates a fleet of five Embraer regional airliners,
FACT CHECK required!
employs about 105 people and last year flew about 100,000 passengers.
employs 105 certainly not full time.
Bredereck says the carrier’s point-to-point service is popular with parents wanting to send their unattended children to visit their grandparents in regional centres because there is no need to change planes in Sydney and other major centres.
One hell of a mark plan sponsored by British paints!
JETGO also has been popular with regional folk wanting to attend medical appointments in Brisbane.
With stiff competition from the RFDS for free.

Lets hope they do, but if not -
not leave others out of pocket - but that just a dream.

Sounds pretty ordinary so I thought i'd just leave this link here for employees in the event the proverbial hits the fan very shortly.
www.jobs.gov.au/fair-entitlements-guarantee-feg.
You will be able to claim: your unpaid wages—up to 13 weeks, your unpaid annual leave and long service leave, payment in lieu of notice—up to five weeks, redundancy pay—up to four weeks per full year of service.
Once appointed generally the insolvency firm will point you in the right direction once they've ensured they will be paid

Let's hope everybody gets their fair suck of the sav

is it just me or has the whole booking engine and all links related to it disappeared from the JETGO website. An old google cached link to it takes you straight to a 404 Page?
